Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Manly

[Labinator]

Poor old Sammy Walker has COVID (just confirmed by Robbo on Fox) - hope he recovers well.

He also said Manu touch and go for round 1…Keary purely precautionary withdrawal given there’s no time pressure, and JWH will play rnd 1.

Expecting two 30 mins stints from the cheese tonight too

Walker ruled out with Smith to replace him.

EDIT: Sandon not Brandon

Good. I wasn't sure if Sandon was available to replace walker, that'll leave turpin to do his thing and I'll get to watch Sandon play for the first time.

They blew the bubble.

How long does the NRL protocol say that he must remain isolated?

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

Expecting a big win tonight, 30+ margin.
15 competition points to win the pre season cup.
